      The difference in screen size probably isn't as big as you think because of the different aspect ratios - this laptop's screen is taller than a 15.6" 16:9 screen. This one is also much higher resolution than 1080p, so you're able to make things smaller to fit much more on the screen if you've got the eyesight for it

      If you are willing to pay a bit more you can upgrade to the 7735HS for $200 (rebadged 6800H/680M).

      Puts the pricing real close to this deal though… https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/780846

      • EpicnessCrossed on 12/06/2023 - 13:25

        I wouldnt recommend spending 200$ more for ryzen 7 7735hs.
        Instead look for a dedicated graphics card in the 1500$ range

  • Jimbuscus on 12/06/2023 - 13:54

    Note that this is not ZEN4, it's either Ryzen 5000 or 6000.

    XX3X is the generation number as of 7000+.

    • EpicnessCrossed on 12/06/2023 - 14:01

      Yes , it is ZEN 3 and has similar performance to 6600H and 6600HS but expect a much better battery life.
      Its obv not meant to game on but it can handle games on lower res.
      The obv bottleneck would be the rx 660m igpu in playing demanding games.

      • Jimbuscus on 12/06/2023 - 14:06

        Honestly the RX660M is pretty awesome for a mobile dGPU, but I would be more interested in a U model to get the most out of portability and basic gaming.

        I have a 5600H with VEGA Graphics and it's pretty good itself.

        • EpicnessCrossed on 12/06/2023 - 14:16
          +1

          It has a pretty big battery and HS cpu so you shouldnt have to worry about battery life a lot
          Also imo rx660m is really great igpu too ( its not a dGPU) .
          Its a bit of an upgrade from vega graphics.
          For me i sealed this deal because of 90hz screen with decent igpu , an efficient chip , ddr5 6400mhz ram and pcie gen 4 ssd.
          Its much better screen than others in similar range as 2.5k 100%srgb and 90hz screen.
          I will use it for light gaming and uni.

              @Jimbuscus: Dont worry, all good.

              • Jimbuscus on 12/06/2023 - 14:20

                @EpicnessCrossed: In my experience with an H 45w CPU, even if I turn off the dGPU in my laptop and only have VEGA it's battery usage is too high for portability.

                If I was going to get iGPU only I would get something like a 6600U, the amount of time it can hold charge is significantly better at 15w.

                • EpicnessCrossed on 12/06/2023 - 14:25

                  @Jimbuscus: You know that you can always tune it to not use much power right?
                  U series chips offer more performance at lower wattage.
                  You can tune your cpus to use less wattage in exchange of drastically less performance.

                  • Jimbuscus on 12/06/2023 - 15:05
                    +1

                    @EpicnessCrossed: The performance wattage curve is better on a U chip at 15W, than it is on an H chip at the same 15W.

                    I see an H chip as something that is primarily a plugged in, portable to relocate computer, with the U models being for more unplugged usage.

                    That's why I opted for an RTX3050 laptop, I figured I would either have a powerful laptop plugged in 90% of the time, or an RDNA iGPU U model APU.

                    Neither of the two options feel good for both usages, hopefully a future chip generation will be more versatile.

        That sux. 16GB ram for win11 and it's shared with the gpu and no upgradeability. That'll barely get u by. Forget the next windows version too with that lol - the only logical reason they solder it is so they can push their next laptop version onto you.

        Must say if you could upgrade the RAM on many of these laptops that have em soldered that actually be worth getting..

        • buddysayshi on 13/06/2023 - 13:18

          More and more laptops (especially the Ultrabook's) nowadays comes with the soldered RAM, the listed RAM in OP's post is LPDDR5-6400MHz, which is plenty fast. Generally 16GB will be more than enough for normal office/home usage.

          • cobknob on 13/06/2023 - 14:07

            @buddysayshi: Doesn't mean they can't come up with a slim line slot of sorts for RAM. Being shared between system and gpu is a downside. For now it might be acceptable, but wait until win12 lol

              @cobknob: I agree, soldered RAM is not good for the end user, but that's the way as of now. If 16GB RAM is not enough, then one need to pay a few hundred dollars more and find 32GB RAM configuration laptop accordingly.

              • cobknob on 13/06/2023 - 19:44

                @buddysayshi: Few hundred more. Let's stick with 100$~ more. RAM prices are cheap atm

                    @buddysayshi: I didn't. With current memory prices I'm not paying more than 150$~ more for a 32GB model.

                      @cobknob: 16GB ram is plenty sir , you wont be able to do AAA games on here and you can actually do something know as debloating windows .
                      Are you going to run thousands of VM's together chained ? What are you going to do on a laptop????
                      You should indeed buy a PC sir.

                      • cobknob on 16/06/2023 - 02:11

                        @EpicnessCrossed: Lol. I have a PC. In fact I have 3. Except 1 is really an old i5 3330 I got in maybe 2018 - Piece of junk really but it has 16GB RAM. Barely adequate for win10 pro. My other 2, well 1 I've just extended to 32GB RAM. Like I said I don't see 16GB RAM being shared with GPU adequate. And if I'm gonna buy a new laptop, I don't plan on replacing it for win12 so I'd rather just add more RAM to keep it going forward.

                        VMs, no I don't use them at the moment. I run simulations, do some programming and compiling, also like to do some game dev related stuff, etc. I like portability for some applications on the go, you know where I can leave the PC and just work on the laptop. I do want a business laptop not really gaming but I haven't quite decided whether I need the extra processing capabilities of a separate gpu to cpu yet.

                        • EpicnessCrossed on 16/06/2023 - 19:49
                          +1

                          @cobknob: I see where you're coming from. It sounds like you already have a PC setup that consists of three machines, with varying capabilities.

                          Regarding your concerns about RAM allocation with a GPU, you have a valid point. For certain tasks like gaming or graphically intensive applications, having more RAM dedicated to the GPU can provide better performance. However, since you're primarily looking for a business laptop and your current usage involves simulations, programming, compiling, and game development, the need for a dedicated GPU might be an immediate requirement before looking for a ram upgrade.

                          Portability seems to be an important factor for you, as you mentioned the convenience of being able to work on the go without solely relying on a desktop PC. In that case, a business laptop with a solid CPU and integrated graphics can still meet your needs effectively.

                          Considering that you don't currently use virtual machines and haven't made a final decision about the necessity of a separate GPU, it might be wise to evaluate your specific use cases and project requirements. If you find that your work will involve more graphically demanding tasks in the future or you anticipate a shift towards gaming, then exploring laptops with dedicated GPUs could be worth considering.

                          • cobknob on 17/06/2023 - 15:45

                            @EpicnessCrossed: Thanks for the insight and assessment. I will most likely have to re-evaluate what use cases I'll need a laptop for and maybe prioritise the obvious and what I wanna spend as well. I do prefer a sustainable purchase since I'm unsure on whether I'll want to fund a newer laptop purchase in the next 3-5 year period etc which is why I like the upgradeable RAM option.

    Thank you.

    • buddysayshi on 14/06/2023 - 10:53

      A very nice laptop, the OLED screen is awesome. Comes with powerful H series processor, battery life is around 7 to 8 hours in normal usage.

      • kurious on 14/06/2023 - 11:15

        Thanks buddysayshi. :)

        Is that 7 to 8 hours at 120hz refresh rate ?? I have read that you could reduce the refresh rate and prolong the battery life ?? To be honest, my laptop is almost always plugged in so I am not too much concerned about battery life more than 7-8 hours.

        I am happy to pay extra $200 to get OLED but wanted people's opinion how do these 2 laptops compare performance wise and also build quality ?

        Thank you.

        • buddysayshi on 14/06/2023 - 11:50

          Everyone's usage pattern is different, so it's very difficult to say how much of battery life you can get. If you do work like emails, spreadsheets, web browsing etc. you will be able to get around 7 to 8 hours or more, if you do heavy load work like photo & video editing etc. your battery life will be much less. 120Hz on this OLED screen is really awesome, IPS screen just can't beat it display wise. Build quality is really good, the keyboard typing experience is nice as well.

              @CyberMurning: I use my laptop purely on its screen, as do I suspect most laptop owners. I have not plugged either of my last two laptops into monitors.

              Most people I know do not own monitors, and just use a laptop on a desk when they need to get stuff done. I'm an outlier with dual 4k 32" at home, but I use my desktop for that. My laptop is when at uni, or working on assignments at my partner's, and in either case I can be working on the laptop screen for 6-8 hours+.

              • CyberMurning on 21/06/2023 - 13:57

                @witheredcouch: Okay fair enough. Im the opposite, 24x7 plugged in to monitor. I dont get desptop to save space at desk/home and well when i really need to bring laptop i can, but cant take desktop out

                • witheredcouch on 21/06/2023 - 14:01

                  @CyberMurning: I have a desktop because I like a light but performant enough laptop when I am out and about, that could do any of the photo and video editing I need in a pinch but need something much more performant at home. My desktop is ITX and stored on a ventilated shelf under my desk, so making room for a laptop as well as monitors on a desk would actually be more inconvenient space-wise.

                  I understand that for most people, 1 PC will be enough, but a lot of those people also will not see the need for a screen, or have the space for a desk setup to have a screen.

      Depends on what you are going for (it looks to have an i5 13500H).
      Point to be noted is that intel iris graphics is dogshit and unless you are doing heavy editing you wont notice a difference between the cpu performace.
      With that being said if you are looking into doing light gaming on the side , lenevo one is a clear winner.(rx 660m >> intel iris graphics)
      You wont be able to utilize the 120hz screen on the ZenBook. ( no dedicated graphics card)
      If you are looking for a work laptop go for U series or P series chips as they are power efficienct and tend to have more battery life .
      Build quality would be great for both of the laptops.
      If you are looking to spend 1450 bucks you could go ahead with a macbook m1 because they have great battery, great screen and i dont know why you need 120 hz screen you cant even use it on a browser unless you manually remove the frame limit and do stuff on the zenbook.
      One more thing to keep in mind is that the lenevo laptop is going to take atleast 2-3 weeks to deliver.
